Abstract
In this study, we investigate the performance of gas-tight Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) by applying various filters to measure their efficiency. We examine the noise behavior of the detectors under higher voltage configurations and report the corresponding reduction in filtered efficiency. These RPCs have been employed to create a muon flux map within the laboratory, providing a rough estimate about the material distribution around the experimental area.
期刊介绍:
Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section.
Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
